This was a fun coaster to make. It’s great for beginners, great to use up left over yarn and doesn’t take long to make. If you want a bigger pad simply use 2 strands of 4 ply Knitting worsted together. I have large dogs so this fits my house perfect. I am a volunteer with our local Animal shelter so I make things for them to sell at Adoption events to raise money to save animals in need. I love the challenge of making new items. I hope you like it as much as I do, Happy stitching!
